Garbanzo chili?

Garbanzo chili?

I was thinking about cookin' up a bowl of chili on the "snowy" NYC day. The only beans I have around are garbanzos (CheChe's as my Italian grandmother use to call them), Of course, I know you can use whatever you want (esp. in chili's) but has anyone ever had one made with these yellow/white beans? Any idea on any different way to do it?

NYNM, those garbanzos w/ chili seasoning sounds good to me! It might help to call it Garbanzo Chile Beans? Or Garbanzo Chili Beans???

Ranch Style Beans have some sort of chile seasonings and they have been a BIG seller for a long time. Weird but I just looked and they say in the ingreadients "Chili Peppers". You would think it would say "Chile Peppers". Joe

I was at my favorite mex market to day they had fresh garbozos in the pod for sale. chili calaradoes is is chili with kidney beans calaradoes is mexican for kidney bean. chili was made with out beans as a sauce then would be ladled over a bowl of beans.if you dont like beans leave them out but if you like them add them ive had chili made with about every bean ther is some times5 or 6 different kinds and had it with no beans.if its veg chli its a good way to add protein. I wqould think people would wack out over pasta or rice with chli than worry over beans or no beans.

on the goya bag of large kidneys its says calaradoes but then ther are probably many differnt names as in english we have onr word for corn and in mexican ther are probly more than 10 or15. so it depends where you are. our housekeeper called them colaradoes but she was from baja they could be another name in central mex as i only spent a few mounths ther.

i was wrong on the spelling its habichuelas coloradas sorry haba de rinon is portagese

Garbanzo Chili Update: So, I just made (and am currently eating) a quick & dirty GC. Mixed reactions. Hearty, tasty, filling. Yet something was "missing." My ersatz recipe was only garbanzos, a little chicken broth, a little tomato paste and, some garlic, the best: Cascados Farms Sundried Red Chile powder (from Santa Fe Farmer's Market last summer.) In the end, I threw in some browned ground turkey, which perked it up. and a little dried green chile. I think, upon reflection, the most important ingredient in chili is chile!

Rotel Tomatoes w/ green chiles mighta perked things up also. Or Hatch Tomatoes w/ Jalapenos. Or any of the tomatoes w/ peppers combos. Just and idea.... I have never added those to anything and wished I haddent. Joe
